New York (CNN) -Horas after the exemption of US rates.
“All sales in the United States are now controlled through local distributors, with orders filled from the interior of the country,” TEMU’s spokesperson said in A on Friday. “Temu has actively recruited U. S. distributors to succeed on the platform. “
The replacement is a primary replacement for the platform. Temu, and other Chinese e-commerce sites like Shein and AliExpress, had in the past used the de minimis exemption, as is known, to flood the United States with ultra-low goods. And while U. S. President Donald Trump says he needs his new price lists for U. S. production to grow. In the U. S. , TEMU’s resolution shows how large corporations can escape that to request and verify other tactics.
The de minimis failure allowed the goods of goods valued at $800 or less to enter the United States as a duty franchise, hop inspections, and long documents. Chinese e-commerce sites have certainly taken maximum credit for the exemption, flooding the U. S. market with ultra-lobe products. But with Trump slapping punishment costs on all Chinese imports, the millions of Americans who have become dependent on those sites may locate those less affordable assets.
The vast majority of Shein and Temu products are made in China and imported into the United States, which is why the costs are so cheap.
The new TEMU corporation jargon would possibly seem to be in Trump’s alley. But it’s not because a product is shipped to consumers from a “local warehouse” that’s made in the United States.
Sites like Temu and Shein have been building their portfolio of U. S. warehouses. U. S. For years to decrease shipping times. Last year, the Biden administration also began criticizing the de minimis exemption, with Chinese shippers feeling a transparent replacement in the mood.
Shein began buying products, shipping in bulk at U. S. warehouses last year, said Chris Tang, a professor of global chain of origin control at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Bloomberg reported in February that Temu had to check its Chinese source chain, asking supplier factories to send bulk parts to US stores. When those articles are exhausted, it is not transparent if they will remain exhausted for US consumers, or if the new pieces will be the subject of the costs Trump has put in China.
For now, this means that foreign manufacturing products are reaching the doors of Americans through US distributors. Temu publicly lists its production partners.
Tang said Friday that if there was scarcity, Temu has few options. The company can reorganize its products, which would charge time and money. He can start offering “substitutes” or recommendations for similar products in stock. Or, you can accumulate prices.
Temu has already increased costs last week.
Temu says in theirs that there are no import prices or additional prices on the delivery of parts purchased from local warehouses. On social media, users say the pieces are already sold out.
A Reddit user said Friday, around 60 of the pieces in his car were not available.
Some TEMU items are not available locally, he pointed out to another user, writing that his virtual cart of more than three hundred items has decreased in pairs. In addition to this, the user said that more pricing had been implemented unless a “local order” totals at least $30.
“Temu left!” What I saw today convinced me absolutely! “They wrote. ” Local vendors, despite the acquisition of safe articles in bulk progress, do not have all those pieces that interested me. “
